you know, i could go on and on for hours about how i could not disagree more with mark schlereth and trent dilfer about how jay cutler is going to fare in chicago and who did the best in the broncos/bears trade, but i'll sum it up as succinctly as i can. the bears are the winners in this trade. draft picks often don't pan out (as jerry angelo can tell you), and 25-year old pro bowl quarterbacks don't grow on trees (because that would be gross.) the amount of money the bears will save by not shelling it out to two first rounders the next couple of years is more than worth it to at least give cutler the rest of his three year deal as a try out in chicago. but honestly, i feel more than anything that he, and the bears, will be just fine.now, on to baseball. here are my pre-season picks for division and wild card winners, as well as world series picks.
AL WEST: Angels
AL CENTRAL: White Sox
AL EAST: Yankees
AL WILD CARD: Athletics
NL WEST: Dodgers
NL CENTRAL: Cubs
NL EAST: Mets
NL WILD CARD: Reds
WORLD SERIES: Yankees OVER Mets
i know, i know, they look almost identical to everyone else's, and i look like an idiot picking the reds to win games, let alone a wild card spot, but i'm comfortable with my picks. we'll check back with how comfortable i am with them once i get screwed over by the yankees' lack of reliable relief pitching and the mets' uncanny ability to spontaneously combust at the sound of "october."
